Chapter 478
478 –He Wants Another Chance
Madeline:
They awkwardly led me toward the guest rooms. Not a single patient had arrived yet. I knew exactly why, because the two of them had been busy with their own personal matters.
“I’m sorry you had to see all of that. I didn’t want you to feel uncomfortable,” Elgin said.
Elgin finally entered the room. A maid followed behind him, carrying a tray with refreshments.
“It’s okay. I don’t need anything,” I told the maid, gesturing gently with my hand and smiling at her.
After that, I turned my attention to Elgin.
“It doesn’t make any difference to me what state you’re in now. I’m here only to do my job,” I stated, looking at him directly.
He gave a slight nod. Then he sniffled, as if he were becoming very emotional.
“Of course you don’t care. But I’ll say this much, everything started the day you cursed me,” Elgin remarked, slipping his hands into his pants pockets.
There was a restlessness in his body. The confident Elgin who used to belittle me felt absent today.
Still, I could not trust him at all. I knew he could reveal his true face at any moment.
As soon as the maid left, I noticed a strange energy settle into his posture. It felt like he had been waiting for us
to be alone.
“Madeline, you’re alone. I’m alone. And now you’re even allowed to stay in the pack,” he murmured, lowering
his voice.
“If you give me another chance, I swear I will show you the best of the world. I will be loyal, loving and very understanding. I will never hurt you ever again-“he paused. (1)
I already understood he was about to repeat the same arguments.
He trailed off when I noticed Silver standing at the doorway behind him. She had her arms folded over her chest and a judgmental look on her face.
Elgin sensed her presence and stopped immediately.
“What is it, Silver? Why are you here?” he asked bitterly, rolling his eyes.
“I came to see how your reunion is going. That’s why you’ve been throwing accusations at me, right?” Silver replied arrogantly.
As soon as she began speaking, I rose from my seat.
I set the files I had just opened in my lap aside and gave her a confident smile.
“Stop talking nonsense, Silver. I think by now everyone knows why you two are fighting. Your pictures are all over the internet. So don’t drag me into this, okay?” I responded without hesitation.

Her hands slowly dropped from her chest to her sides. Her face tightened.
“You got your answers? Now leave,” Elgin snapped, turning toward her.
The expression on Silver’s face suggested he was scolding her for my sake.
The truth was entirely different.
Elgin only ever acted for himself. He cared about no one else.
A man who can throw his sick daughter out of a car cannot possibly love me. I refuse to believe that.
“No. I want both of you out of the room. I need to focus on my work. Neither of you is helping me, so please leave,” I cut in.
I watched Silver’s face shift in shock. The hurt on Elgin’s face was even more satisfying.
Did they really think I wanted to stay around Elgin?
“I think you heard her. So I believe we should both leave,” Silver remarked, taunting her husband.
He clenched his jaw. Then he strode past her, moving faster than she could turn, and she walked out at the same time.
A few minutes later, several patients arrived. I treated them quickly, and the children began to wake almost immediately.
I had shed so many of my own tears for this. One might ask how.
I missed my daughter and my husband every night. It was never difficult for me to cry.
I was going to cry anyway. If it helped people, then what more did I need?
Even in my suffering, I was helping others.
After a while, my phone began to ring. I stepped away from the patient who had just woken up and answered quickly.
“Hello?” I said.
His parents were celebrating, so it was fine for me to step aside.
“Madeline, your children are making this very difficult,” Lord Jonah informed me from the other side.
“They’re crying. They’re upset that you didn’t take them with you,” he added.
I slapped my forehead.
“Okay, I don’t know what to do. I still have a few hours left here,” I admitted.
“Can you bring them here? If Lady Eugenia is fine being alone at home,” I asked.
Of course she would be fine alone. It was safe enough.
“Yes, of course I can do that,” Lord Jonah assured me.

I ended the call and waited for my children to arrive within the next ten minutes.
But almost as soon as I lowered the phone, I turned and saw Elgin standing there.
“Did you just call your children here?” he questioned, making me frown.
“No. It’s not a problem. But my daughters don’t like Elara, so can you find them another place to stay for now?” he continued. 1
It was the way he said it.
I wanted to lunge at him and claw at his face.
